Star Trek Holidays Letter
Sep. 18th, 2023 08:39 pmDear Creator,
thank you so much for writing this story for me. We clearly share some Trekian interests, and I'm thrilled to find out what you'll come up with.
Generally speaking: most of the prompts below aren't romantic in nature. If you ship one of these character combinations - say Pelia/Guinan - , be my guest, I don't object, but I don't want a story where them having sex takes up two thirds of the text. Re: fluff or dark, I'm fine with wherever the muse takes you, anything from angsty h/c to cheerful silliness is fine as long as the characters I love are at the heart of it. Also, if in cases where I requested a character combination of three named characters your story idea would only fit for two of them, and otherwise it would not work, that's fine with me as well.
DNW:
- bashing of canon pairings or characters in general. By which I don't mean the characters have to like each and everyone else, which would be oc, and honestly, I'm not exactly an admirer of, say, Chakotay's. But that doesn't mean I would want to read everyone dissing him (same with other characters)
- Alpha/Beta/Omega scenarios, watersports, infantilisation. Really not my thing, sorry.
- Rape: Now, this canonically happened to one of the characters I've asked for, and in her case, of course I would expect the story to deal with it. However, with the other characters, where it didn't happen in canon, I'd rather not read about it this year's ST fictional gift.
Likes:
- character exploration
- stoics who get the job done
- wordplay and banter if ic for the characters involved
- some humor amidst the angst if you go for a darker story
- fictional politics, history and literature (i.e. if you want to let the characters discuss the politics in their universe (e.g. the Federation's decision(s) re: Romulan refugees being an obvious case in point), or debate Cardassian literature a la Garak and Bashir, I'm all for it)
The question of AUs: In general, I'm not against exploring characters in, say, a "five things that never happened" scenarios, but I also love it if the story manages to stay within canon continuity.
On to the prompts:
( Strange New Worlds/Discovery, DS9/TNG, TNG/SNW )
( DS9 prompts )
( Discovery prompts )
